Loads of wheelspin on launch control

[SuperV8]

These days most Porsches are SUVs. Cayennes & Macans massively outsell Boxsters, Caymans & 911s.

Haha yes - sad but true

is there a way to find out how many times launch control has been used on a car? If i had any indication that someone had been using launch control i'd want to know and i would not touch the car.
Its a gimic, a waste of time, and not something we need or should want on road cars.

anyways, once electric cars take over you will get beaten off the line regardless.

Really? Fair enough I thought they were all 4wd now for traction ?

Agree it's a gimmick in the real world - used by the manufactures/magazine reviewers to get the headline 0-60's

Colleague has a model 3 performance - off the line acceleration - wow, in fact i'd probably call it uncomfortable (as a passenger) Can't see any ICE car getting close at the traffic light GP upto 30-40mph! and my weekend car is a 4.6 supercharged V8 Dax Rush as my point of reference!
